Flower Hat

Here are the two cute flower hats that I made this Christmas. One for me and one for my sister.

I found this cloche hat pattern on Lions Brand website.

I tweaked it a little for one of the blue one: I just didn't continue when is said to switch needles and continue for another 3 inches. I think I turned out cute that way. I made a matching frilly scarf to go with it and I get compliments whenever I wear them.

I will post the pattern for the flowers soon, they are really easy.

Cute Christmas Elf Stockings

I wanted to have some matching stockings (finally) this year, and thought this idea was so cute. My sister did something like this, so here is my take on it. I found the pattern and how to do it on this cute website http://http//sew4home.com/projects/fabric-art-a-accents/375-citrus-holiday-elf-stockings . Very good instructions although, now I wish I had made them about twice as big but oh well. I lined them with some black fabric, and put a little more stuffing in the toe and heel. I sewed bells on all the points and the toe. I didn't monogram on the fabric, I found some cute chipboard letters at Michael's and hung them off one of the bells. I got all my fabric at Joann's for half off (yeah!) but had to go to 3 different stores to get it (boo!).
